uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֔ר

The expression and said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly. See how you translated the same expression in 1:28 and comparable contexts.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

קְחִי

bring

In a context such as this, a speaker of your language might say “bring” instead of take (and similarly in the next verse). Alternate translation: [bring]
